Days after releasing their first album of new material since 2014's Big Music (which MOJO magazine declared their best album in 30 years), Simple Minds play three special gigs including one at London's Roundhouse. Performing all eight tracks from the new album, Walk Between World, as well as established classics, the band features the Acoustic tour line up of: Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill, percussionist Cherisse Osei and backing vocalist Catherine AD alongside band mainstays Ged Grimes on bass, multi-instrumentalist Gordy Goudie, and regular backing singer (and sometimes lead vocalist) Sarah Brown.

It's great to see this fabulous arts venue re-open its doors after a stunning refurbishment. Boasting a colourful history, the Roundhouse initially started life as an engine shed. It was later transformed into a bonded warehouse for Gilbey's Gin before Arnold Wesker the playwright came along in 1964 and established Centre 42 here, insisting it became one of the most cutting-edge performing arts venue in the country.
